Ethical Practices for ABA Testimonials and Reviews with Dr. Jon Bailey In this episode of the 3 Pie Squared - ABA Business Leaders podcast, Stephen and April discuss essential ethical practices for ABA providers with Dr. Jon Bailey, a retired professor emeritus of psychology from Florida State University. Dr. Bailey shares his extensive experience, insights on the importance of maintaining ethical standards, and answers common questions about client testimonials, informed consent, and supervision in ABA therapy. Dr. Jon Bailey is a retired professor emeritus of psychology from Florida State University, where he served on the graduate faculty for 38 years and produced a record 63 PhDs. He is a fellow of the Association for Behavior Analysis International and the American Psychological Association. Dr. Bailey has published over 100 peer-reviewed research articles, is the past chief editor of the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, and is the coauthor of 14 books, including the fourth edition of "Ethics for Behavior Analysts." He also founded the popular ABA ethics hotline, which receives hundreds of ethics questions per month from consumers and behavior analysts worldwide. Key Takeaways on this weeks Episode: 1. Client Testimonials and Ethics: Dr. Bailey emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations when asking for client testimonials. Current clients should not be solicited for testimonials to avoid manipulation. However, testimonials from former clients can be requested, provided they include a disclaimer about the nature of the testimonial and the relationship between the client and the behavior analyst. 2. Informed Consent: Informed consent is crucial when sharing client success stories or photos. Dr. Bailey advises obtaining thorough, informed consent that includes a discussion of potential risks, such as the possibility of photos being misused if posted online. Parents should be made aware of the permanence of online content and the potential for misuse on the dark web. 3. Supervision in ABA Therapy: Adequate supervision of RBTs (Registered Behavior Technicians) is essential. If RBTs are not receiving the required supervision, they should cease providing services and notify their employer. Proper supervision ensures ethical and effective practice, maintaining the integrity of ABA therapy. 4. Ethical Marketing Practices: ABA businesses should avoid unscientific claims in their marketing materials. Statements about making families happier or giving children the skills to succeed should be backed by data and presented in an aspirational manner. Transparency and honesty in marketing are key to maintaining ethical standards. Starting a practice and not sure where to start?
